Hi all,

Since the 10.5.2 update (which seems to have resolved the bluetooth issues i had with 10.5.1 by the way), bluetooth is suddenly switched OFF by default on my mac, which bugs me because now every day when i start up i have to manually switch it on to get my wireless Logitech V470 mouse going. 🙁

Where can i change settings so bluetooth is ON by default?

That was off course the first place i looked. But the 'ON' button in the prefs window is greyed out in my case. I then resort to "bluetooth file exchange" which alerts me that bluetooth is switched off, and there i switch it on manually.
The point is that every time i shut down my mac and start up again, bluetooth is, again, 'OFF'
I have no built in bluetooth by the way, i use a kensington USB bluetooth stick.
Anyone with a solution? 😕
